How It Ends: From You To The Universe

Great Book!
I really enjoyed this book. Really got me thinking in the last few chapters about where humankind could go. Although the more interesting part to me was what would happen on a universal scale after life would likely cease to exist. The possible outlooks and the details the Chris puts into it really captivated me. There's a lot of ground covered in this book from the small to the immense and each chapter was enjoyable and educating.

worth reading
"How it Ends" is one of those books that is difficult to put down once started. It is well-written, informative, and tells a great story. It is about endings -- our personal ending, the end of societies, of mankind, of animals and life on Earth, of the Earth itself, of the Solar System, the Milky Way galaxy, and finally of the universe itself. The book also addresses several ancillary issues, such as of our place in the galaxy and universe. Are we unique? Is intelligent life in the galaxy or universe special, or is it likely that intelligent life is common? Impey's logic and arguments are both interesting and rather convincing.What impresses me most about this book is the author's range of knowledge about the subjects being discussed, and his ability to impart it to the reader in an interesting and thoughtful manner. He brings his own reflections and experiences into the discussion, which only adds to the import of the book. There is much to reflect on while reading "How it Ends", and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in pondering the question, what's it all about?

The end is not nigh
How it all ends is a fascinating look at how all things, from us to the cosmos will end. A philosophical look at science and time scales in the billions of years. If the cosmos and or physics is of any interest, you will find this an interesting and thought provoking read.
